There are a lot of things that are socially acceptable in America that are considered disgusting in other countries as well.

Sharks only attack humans who eat meat and they will stop attacking humans if we all stop eating meat, duh!

And where is your evidence of that? Do you have sales figures for the rape simulator game?

If even 5% of the population of is in the Tea Party, then that's more weirdos per capita than Japan.

Good luck exploring ancient ruins after you've gotten married, amirite guys?

You know how there's a game called Mortal Kombat? But you know, "combat" isn't spelled right?
